F# project types in Visual Studio 2017 v15.5.0

I upgraded VS2017 to v15.5 today and I'm no longer able to create an F# project that uses plain old .NET Framework. The main options that I now see are:

There are also a bunch of other project types under .NET Core. I'm working in an existing solution with projects that target .NET Framework 4.6.1, so I'd like to create a new project that's consistent with these. Also, I'd like the option of using WPF and other Windows-specific features. Is that no longer possible with F#?

Found the problem: I had "F# language support" installed, but needed to add "F# desktop language support" in 15.5. It looks like the installer deselects this option by default, even when upgrading an installation that actually has these project types.
